Joaquin Correa has been ruled out of Lazio’s Coppa Italia Round of 16 tie with Novara today after coming down with flu.
It kicks off at the Stadio Olimpico at 14.00 GMT.
Correa had been expected to start until yesterday, but has not even made it into the squad due to an illness.
It means Felipe Caicedo is the favourite to support Ciro Immobile, with Luis Alberto in a slightly deeper role.
